In a high realism game I'd normally never let a player parry/block a gun with a sword, mainly due to the unlikely hood of intercepting the bullet but also because of the forces involved. I'm going to reconsider this for characters with preturnatural awarness and/or speed. The reason is explained in the following links.
Coolest thing I've seen in a while.
Weekend was fun, Starting on friday evening went to tai-chi, dragged Shiv along for this one, which was a little annoying as it seems like she has more talent for it than I do. After that we all went back to appartement and got a little drunk.
Saturday. Shiv had friends over to sort her half of the wedding. I had to cook. That afternoon we went out to celebrate warpspeed's birthday, starting with a surprise party in his place and then progressing on to the pub. (Frank Ryan and Son's, awesome pub).
Sunday. Went to Kipure to check out stuff for no apparent reason. was fun, went on a hike, found a dead body(dundun dunnnn)....
... it was only a sheeps body though, but it had been dead for a while. Only bones left. Was also amused at watching Shiv's parents climb over a fence.
Nothing else of interest has happened.
I know its not the 1st any more but I have something very important I'd like to rant about.
Its called April fools day. Emphasise the last word. It is NOT April fools morning and therefore does NOT end at noon. Why this is so widely belived is beyond me.
As for Gaelcon. First and foremost, before anything else, Andrew is the one who said it. That alone is reason for suspicion. Secondly you shouldn't belive everything you read on the internet. People are wrong here all the time. Just check the comments on any You-tube video and you'll see what I mean. People also lie here. Check out the scientology website for further information.
For those of you who actually fell for it and got annoyed about it, or suggested that it could have gone horribly wrong with big buissness making new plans after hearing the news, I ask you to please check the fuel tank on your brain as it may be nearing empty. Buisnessess don't move that fast and you can be gauranteed that they know what the date is every freakin day of the week.
And finally to the perpatrator of the event. Andrew, I salute you, and I'm not cold. Cynical yes, cold.... not so much. Maybe your shame is keeping me warm!
